The PJpe's letter to his Secretary Of
State is interesting as afIo'ding On in
sight into tho relations OF the Church
with all the nations OF Europe except
Great Britain. He repeats his impos-
sibls dream Of territorial sovereignty
in Italy, and declares that nothing but
the restoration Of his temporal Gu
thori.y will reconcile the Pontifcate to

m n, RANDALL

IL reported as saying recently that he |
would pursus the came curse in the
mex. Congress as In the las! 10 relation
to the tariff question when 1t was
brought up. That is, he will play the
same obstructive policy with the as
sis,ance Of the Republican minority.
He will! insist, he says, upon the re-
peal Of the internal revenue as entire
ly adequate TO meet the emergsn-
cy OF reducing or preventing the
increase Of the surplus 10 the
public treasury, at least he will in
sist upon the repeal Of the tobacco
tax. Mr.. Randall, In announcing his
plan Of campaign 80 far in advance,
gives the leaders Of the party fair
warning. and he ought to be taken at
his word. He throws down the gaunt-
let OF defiance spd insists that the tail
shall continue to wag the dog. Mr..
Randall does not seem TO trouble
himself with the rights OF the ajority
OF his party in or out Of Congress. A
true proteotionist he Is only anxious
TO keep his hands Ia the pockets OF
the people and make them pay to
make the rich richer, even 10 the ex.
tent Of their own Impeachment.
According to Democratic custom this
is all wrong. They laid 1t down az
automatic tn, the majority must rule.
l, will therefore be the duty OF the
Democratic members Of the House OF
Representatives, when ii meets In
December. 10 meet In caucus and
make this plain 10 Mr.. Randall. lie
must be made TO understand (l) that
the ms jori!y rules; (2) that the Demo
cratic Is not protection but a free
trade party; (3) that no part Of the
internal revenue Ia TO be repealed
and az that the tariff must DO revised
upon sn equitable basis that will
bring relief 10 the masses and
chtapeu, II II does not admit duty
free, whatever Ia essential TO theil
life and living. This done,
bill should be introduced and pressed
through the committee and put upor
its passage. II 1t does not pass as I

the Catholic Church, protect itsel
against it's own dissenting member,

Through my open fretted easement
Giltered IN tremulous note,
From the tall and shady linden,
Where the robin swelled his throat;
Tiny wooer, brayed- breasted robin,
Quantity calling for his mate,
From my slumber, nightmare~Ildden
With the memory of that dire
Dem on in my central fire
Like my eyes interior mirror,
Like the shadow of fate
But the fendish fire had smouldered
To a white and formless heap,
A nd no knot of oak was blazing
AS it blazed upon ny sleep.
But on the red hearth'S reddest centre.
Where that demons face had shown,
The shadowy Tightening seemed to
lnger.
And to point with spectral finger
To Bible, massive, golden,
On table, carved and Olden,
And bowed and SAID, ''All power
Is Of God. and God aIOne.'
